Poplar gets title shot
The Poplar Indians came alive during the Eastern A Tournament in Wolf Point this past week end and look ed once again like the Cham Champs we know they are . " After a bad slump through the later part of Conference play, they battled their way thru Glandive and Sidney only to loose by a few points to Plentywood the contender for first place in the Sat. night game.  Plentywood took the Championship by 4 points and both teams will go to the State Tournament to contend for the Championship of the State. Believe me Poplar will be in there 100% for its their title that the other teams are bidding for.
Mostly for all our Out-of State readers we are re-pro' ducing the highlights of the games so that they can see what happened. Many of you readers are Mends and relatives and we know you are interested.. .those who have lived here know that Poplar is at the games J
